∙ 14y agoA low sodium diet includes no more than 2,000 to 3,000 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day. To give an idea of how much that is, 1 teaspoon of salt is approximately 2,300 mg sodium. People with moderate exercise schedule are usually asked to limit their sodium intake to 3,000 mg per day.

∙ 14y agoThe short answer is less than 2,000 mgs a day unless you are on a very strict diet. One tablespoon of salt includes around 2,300 mgs, so your daily sodium intake needs to be not more than a tablespoon of salt. Although this seems to be difficult to achieve, it is very possible as long as someone pays attention to nutrition labels of the food products he/she consumes.
